Sam's Auto: BMW 335i Alpine White Revisited

[imported_artikxscout]

This was the 335i I worked on before. Owner has been busy so it's been neglected. However, he did keep the paint in great condition (no swirls as far as I can tell). This car was dirty though. When I foamed it, the foam itself turned black (refer to picture).



Exterior:

Foam Wash (Megs)

No clay needed

S100 Gel on BMW wheels

10:1 Megs APC on tires

Megs Hotshine on Wheels

TOL Best Dressed on Wheel Wells x2

LSP: Poorboys EX-P



Interior:

Vacuum

Poorboys Leather Conditioner

303 on Vinyl

TOL Best Dressed on Rubber Mats

10:1 Megs APC on Rubber Mats

QD on DoorJams



Before:

BMW Brake dust... sigh...

Lets say this car was covered in this:

During Foam:

After:

~2.5 hours

Sorry for the poor quality pictures. I need to find a better way to take pictures with low light setting. I didn't have my tri-pod with me either. That might've helped.



Thanks for looking! Comments welcomed.

Regardeless of lighting, that car looks fantastic!



Great job.

S100 wheel gel? How Much?

 

[imported_artikxscout]

Cheaper than P21. I got mine for 9.95 at PAC, but the Harley Davidson dealership has the bigger version for around ~$16

Did he put an aftermarket bumper on that car? Looks different than mine.

Great job..I'll have to pick up the S100 wheel Gel at my local Harley Shop.



Any pics of the interior? I'd like to see the results of the Poorboys leather conditioner and 303 on the vinyl. I have the same car and I'm afraid to use leather conditioner that will make it shiny.

You'll Love the S100 Wheel Gel. I wouldn't use it as often as I detail, but just keep your rims clean and seal it and you're good to go. The Poorboys made the leather much darker with no shiny residue. I liked it, and he enjoyed it so... ::shrugs:: do a test spot on the back seat if that's the case.

Yeah he did, I believe it's made of polyurathane. He also put a clear bra on the car too. Helps a lot with the chips.

Isn't it? It's a great car to have if you don't want to buy the m3 .
